Lister: Reload textfile when pressing END

Post by *Bassmann »

Is it a problem to implement a reload of a file by pressing END key to have a live view of a growing log file?
Just like midnight commander does (reload+jump to end of file).

In some older threads I found hints to use logtail but the downloads doesn't work. It's not in development anymore I guess.
I want to use the Lister, because it's really fast. But maybe without pressing F2 and END key twice a second :)

If the topic already exists or the feature has already been rejected, please send me a link and remove this request.

Thank you guys, good job!

There is no such function in TC Lister. Pressing F2 followed by End is pretty much your only option, at least without any Lister plugin. It's not as simple and nice as in MC but it's better than nothing.
